Abstract
An exact expression of Lense-Thirring precession rate is derived for non-extremal and extremal Plebański-Demiański spacetimes. This formula is used to find the exact Lense-Thirring precession rate in various axisymmetric spacetimes i.e., Kerr-Newman, Kerr-de Sitter etc. We also show that if the Kerr parameter vanishes in the Plebański-Demiański spacetime, the Lense-Thirring precession does not vanish due to the existence of NUT charge. To derive the Lense-Thirring precession rate in the extremal Plebański-Demiański spacetime, we first derive the general extremal condition for Plebański-Demiański spacetimes. This general result could be applied to obtain the extremal limit in any stationary and axisymmetric spacetimes.
